1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"The finest cars money can buy!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This Wonderful over engineered car has had a couple of faults listed below.
1) Very squeaky windows at the front
2) Scratches all down the windows now
3) Major tick-over problems
4) Heavily scratches window at front
5) Alarm not always working correctly.
General comments?
Wonderful, high quality, classy.
All of the above describe this car.
When I decided to buy this car I was told by the garage that every time I get behind the wheel of this car I will smile, and guess what they were not lying.
I love to climb in and be cosseted by all the wonderful touches, the wood and the big Mercedes badge at the end of the bonnet.
The big plus with this car is its power, it is very powerful considering the size and the economy is not bad either when driven in economy mode.
